About This Property

Step into a Storybook. Less than one mile from downtown Hillsborough, nestled in the trees on the edge of the historic Ayr Mount Estate, sits a one-of-a-kind gem: a magical oasis in the heart of it all. Originally built in 1946, this French Tudor Cottage retained much of its charm (plaster arches, oak floors & more).Expanded in 2004, this home has been lovingly cared with many updates. The home offers an enlarged kitchen, a dedicated laundry & mud room, three porches & a massive owners’ suite with a private screened porch that sits steps from a 14'x60' saltwater lap pool. The powder room could easily convert to a full bath & provide a second en-suite bedroom on the main floor. Beautiful brick & stone paths meander through the home's mature landscaping & an arched gate at the back of the property provides dedicated private access to Ayr Mount & its famous Poet's Walk: a one-mile trail that leads down to the banks of the Eno River. A large daylight basement and more than two acres of land provide plenty of flexibility and opportunity for new owners to dream. There is nothing else quite like this one- don't miss it!
